Tom Hanks Talks 'Captain Phillips,' Mustaches, and His Favorite Films

Tom Hanks is reportedly more of a fan of typewriters than the internet, and he told Reddit that he "abhors self-promotion," but it didn't stop him from doing an Ask Me Anything on Reddit Monday night. Tom was dignified and guarded, unlike some of Reddit's other guests, which seemed fitting for the poised and old-fashioned actor. Here are some of his best responses.

His favorite movie that he hasn't acted in:"Recently, Looper. And Das Boot the directors cut."

On whether he's answering the AMA on a typewriter: "I wish."

On how far his Forrest Gump body-double and real-life brother Jim ran in the movie: "In Montana and south carolina. a few hundred yards in slo-mo."

How long he'd make it on a deserted island: "I'd make it a week and a half."
